Bang Lang Dam
Description
Bang Lang Dam is an earth core rockfill dam. It is 430 m (1,410 ft) long and 85 m (279 ft) high. Its reservoir has a maximum storage capacity of 1,420,000,000 m (5.0×10 cu ft) with a catchment area of 2,080 km (800 sq mi).
The dam is considered multi-purpose supporting electricity generation, irrigation, flood control, fisheries and recreation activities.
Power plant
The dam's power plant has three hydroelectric Francis turbine-generating units, each with an installed capacity of 24 MW. A nearby mini hydroelectric project at Ban Santi has a 1.275 MW generating unit and is also part of the Pattani Project. The combined annual power generation is 200 GWh.
